Can I implement my own design in RGB Easyweb using HTML, instead of the web-based interface?
No. RGB Easyweb has been designed with the chief goal to allow HTML / JS non-savvy users to quickly and easily create web sites with consistent look and feel throughout all pages. There are many software packages which allow low-level HTML coding (like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc) and any ISP will offer hosting services that can accommodate such a site. RGB Easyweb is a different type of service - it is an online publishing platform which offers integrated tools for building and managing a site without any coding skills.
Currently, the HTML Snippet function allows adding a piece of HTML code to your page. You can use this option for adding a small custom script on your page. We are also working on a Template Development Kit which will give HTML developers the opportunity to easily create their own RGB Easyweb designs. But again, the content inside them will be managed only with the current web-based editing interface.
Can I remove the text "Powered by RGB Easyweb" from the design?
All RGB Easyweb designs include a small "Powered by RGB Easyweb" line in the footer and we are not planning on removing it. The RGB Easyweb link creates a viral effect and brings us many new customers without a significant investment of our budget for marketing campaigns. This allows us to provide our services relatively inexpensively. Please contact us to request the footer text to be removed.
Can I have a RGB Easyweb website with a custom design?
I've tried switching designs and this resulted into spoiled appearance of my website
Sometimes the page you update requires one more refresh in order to see the changes. If after switching to a new design one of your pages looks like a mixture of the two designs and the content is badly formatted this may be due to the fact that the page is not properly refreshed. If you are using Internet Explorer make sure that your browser is set to check for newer versions of pages:
- Go to the browser's "Tools" menu and select "Internet Options"
- In the "General" tab, "Temporary Internet Files" section select "Settings"
- "Check for newer versions" should be set to "Automatically"'
If the browser has been already set to "Automatically" and the change you have done resulted into a broken website, please contact RGB Easyweb Support for further assistance.
After switching to another design some of my content is no longer visible
Some designs feature different content areas or elements such as News, Sections, Multiple Menus, which are not available in the rest designs. So, when switching from such one design to another these specific content items may no longer be visible if the new design doesn't feature such options. They will be simply hidden. If you revert to your original design, all the content will be displayed in full again.
Can I preview how my site will appear in the new design before deciding to switch to it?
Yes. You can easily try any design in Admin View before deciding if to switch your site to it. When you select the new site design from "Site Properties" and press "Update", you'll be given an option to preview it in Admin View first, or apply the update to Normal View directly. Select "Preview".
Can I have a RGB Easyweb website with a custom design?
